Fay Wancke, BACP

Fay Wancke is a counsellor who works from a client-centred approach. She believes the person seeking help knows their own story best and uses that view to guide conversations. Fay focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She also helps people dealing with depression and motivation struggles.

She explains things plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters now. Fay aims to highlight a person's strengths and to support small steps toward change. Conversations are paced to the individual's needs rather than fitting a fixed template.

Over three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom have shaped her way of working. She listens for the patterns that get in the way and helps people try different ways of responding. Fay often works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and communication problems.

Her wider experience includes supporting people around adoption and foster care matters, ageing and geriatric issues, chronic illness or pain, and caregiver stress. She also addresses concerns such as body image, cancer-related distress, commitment issues, control difficulties, and recovery from domestic violence.

Fay treats each person as an individual and encourages clients to build on what already helps them. She offers steady, non-judgemental support while people test new approaches and make changes at their own pace.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on giving the person space to talk and be heard. It relies on the counsellor responding with careful listening, empathy and open questions to help people find their own solutions. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship stress where feeling understood is a key first step.

Fay's way of working places the client's priorities first and she uses that same principle when planning online work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree on how to proceed together. That means the choice of techniques and pacing is collaborative rather than imposed.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to connect from familiar surroundings and focus on practical steps between meetings.
